KALE AND FRISEE SALAD WITH SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers, add capers. Cook, stirring a few times, until they swell and darken slightly, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add hazelnuts and cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture (with oil) to a small bowl. Let cool completely, then stir in celery.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together mustard and vinegar. Gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons oil to make the dressing; season with salt and pepper. Add frisée and kale, tossing to evenly coat; let stand at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. Top with caper mixture before serving.

KALE SALAD WITH MARCONA ALMONDS AND SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the sherry vinaigrette: Peel the oranges with a sharp knife. Remove the segments by cutting between the white membrane of each segment. Squeeze out the 2 tablespoons of juice and reserve. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, juice and mustard together. Season with salt and pepper and whisk vigorously. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• For the kale salad: Remove the tough stems from the kale and discard. Finely slice the leaves into thin ribbons and toss together with the cranberries and vinaigrette. Serve on a platter scattered with orange segments and sprinkled with the almonds.

• Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients and toss with the salad. * I like to massage the kale and dressing at this point. Just massage it with both hands for a few minutes. Toss in any additional fruits or berries.

• This is even better the next day and hold up well w/o wilting.
